Drama junkie. Taste of a grandma. Part-time mass reblogger. Sometimes I post way too many screencaps.

  2. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid (32/45)
  3. Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger (4/50)
  4. The Real Has Come! (16/50)

Please don't ask me for relationship advice unless you are prepared to receive some truly upsetting information because some people are ready for the "He's exhibiting the literal textbook signs of a psychological abuser and you need to get away from him before he successfully cuts you off from your support network" talk and some people aren't

FOR WHOEVER NEEDS A REMINDER:

  1. There is never any justification for someone putting their hands on you in any way without your consent short of immediate risk of harm or death.
  2. If someone tells you that "the way I'm acting is your fault because you know that doing X thing would make me do it and you chose to do it anyway" is just fancy bullshit talk for, "I know my behaviour is wrong, but I don't want to be held responsible for it so I'm pushing it on you"
  3. Nothing good ever, ever comes from someone who tells you, "I don't want you talking about our relationship with anyone". This person cannot handle accepting responsibility and processing criticism so they need you to never, ever question them. That's easier if they control the narrative and your friends aren't there to cut in.
  4. Nothing constructive comes from screaming.
  5. "It's not like that all the time" is optimistic and sweet, but the truth is, it shouldn't be like that at all. Sweet words and gifts and gestures don't erase being frightened for yourself or for your loved ones. That is not normal. Don't minimize it.
  6. It is not healthy or normal to be genuinely afraid of saying "no" to someone, for any reason at all. Violence, outbursts, retaliation, anything. You should not have to be afraid of someone's reaction to your boundaries.
  7. You are not responsible for saving anyone. Even if you love them. Even if they have nobody else. At the end of the day, if they want to hurt themselves in any way, they will, and you can't stop them forever. People need to want to improve before they can actually improve, and if they're threatening to harm themselves to keep you around, they're using your love to hold themselves hostage. You do not decide their choices for them, and they don't get to shunt that off on you.
  8. There will always be other people who can love you better. You will not be alone forever. This will not be the last time you care for someone like this and it will not be the last time someone cares for you

"alas" is a truly S tier english word. fantastic mouthfeel, makes me sound like a world-weary wizard, looks cool when written out. good job to whoever created this word.

When i was using tumblr as my main social media i was basically the nicest person ever. But now that i use instagram i am an insufferable asshole online and super mean to people who deserve it under their reels just because they think that just because they have a voice that they get to use said voice on societal matters.

But also this is literally the point of those social media. Insta, facebook, tiktok and others thrive off of pissing you off. They thrive off of degeneracy and hate and promoting wrong morals. Their algorithms legitimately will suggest you content that piss you off to get engagement. Cause they know you'll be angry enough to come back and "show those people"

"those people" never had a platform to spread their misinformatiom and hate and absolutely awful behavioir before these algorithms who promote content with the highest engagement. It's no surprise creators are legitimately putting false information in their videos to get more engagement by people commenting how wrong they are because that's what the algorithm will rank higher. It will rank shock, hate, injury, death, sad stories higher because they get engagement. And it doesn't stop there. Once it pulls you into one direction it will laser focus on that topic.

Oh you spent 2 more seconds than usual on a depression video because you looked away and didn't scroll past fast enough? Well not your whole front page is going to be how much life sucks and how you should hate yourself for existing. And now you're sad bohoo, here's some reasons why you should hate women! Here's some dude in a podcast saying how minorities are destroying the country because you liked a cat video posted by a right wing asshole who watches this stuff on the regular!

It's insane, its fucking insane that the entire human moral is lead by these attention and reaction algorithms instead of being regulated.

I hate this so much. I absolutely loathe it. The internet used to be a wonderful place full of curiosity with no degenrate content unless you were really looking for it and now you get leaked documents in front of your face on a tiktok story about baking hacks!
